Ripple Price Revisits Support

This past week, ripple’s XRP made another attempt to clear the $0.42 resistance against the US Dollar. The price failed to gain strength and struggled to clear $0.42. A high was formed near $0.4204 and the price started a fresh decline.

There was a move below the $0.4120 support to move into a short-term bearish zone, similar to bitcoin and ethereum. The price even tested the key $0.3860 support zone.

A low is formed near $0.3861 and xrp price is now consolidating losses. It is trading below $0.40 and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). An immediate resistance is near the $0.4040 zone. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.4204 swing high to $0.3861 low.

The next key resistance is near the $0.412 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.4110 on the 4-hours chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The trend line is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.4204 swing high to $0.3861 low. A successful break above the $0.412 resistance might send the price towards the $0.420 resistance. Any more gains might send the price towards the $0.45 level.
